Creating a Sport Club

  • Meet with the Sport Club coordinator to discuss the club's scope and purpose, financial status, membership status, constitution, faculty or staff advisor, coach and officers.
  • Become familiar with the information in the student handbook pertaining to student organizations and the Sport Clubs Handbook.
  • Fill out a Request for Recognition form and a petition containing at least 10 names of interested full-time students, including their Southern Miss ID# and signature. The form and petition must be submitted to the Associate Director of Programs.
  • After a final discussion with the Associate Director of Programs, the club must register with the Office of Student Activities.
  • A club is considered "inactive" when it has no participation for two consecutive semesters. Once a club has inactive status, it must go through the same process as a new club to be reestablished.

Annual Registration

  • Previously recognized sport clubs seeking to renew their registration must obtain approval from the Associate Director of Programs at the beginning and end of each academic year.
  • The registration can be accomplished by submitting a copy of the registration card (blue card) that is submitted to the Office of Student Activities.
  • Clubs that receive approval must complete the registration form (blue card) in the Office of Student Activities by the third week of each semester. If a club fails to renew registration during any academic year, it shall forfeit all privileges until the violation is corrected.
  • A club must have at least 10 active member on the roster. If the club falls below 10, the club will receive a notice to increase membership or be placed on probation. If the club falls below 10 members for 2 consecutive semesters, the club will become inactive.
  • A Sport Club shall lose recognition if it fails to register for a period of two consecutive years. In such cases, the organization may reapply for recognition by following the procedures outlined in the "Creating a Sport Club" section.
